The present study was carried out to evolve a safe and strategic supplementation to rice gruel by synchronizing nutrient delivery in the rumen for maximum microbial production. Three in vitro trials were conducted to study the rumen fermentation characteristics of nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) and sulphur sources supplementation to rice gruel with basal diet (Bajra x Napier grass, CO4). Urea and diammonium phosphate (DAP) were used as NPN sources, while copper sulphate and sodium sulphate were used as sulphur sources. The results indicated that sodium sulphate was the choice of sulphur source and pH and ammonia concentration were not alarming enough to produce toxicity. | Evolving safe and strategic supplementation to ruminants fed with rice gruel
